replacement battery for dual-usb iBook

Now, I don't mind paying a little more or less if one or the other is actually better. Does anyone know? Are they really identical?

So my 2+ year old dual USB iBook doesn't hold that much of a charge anymore.

Sleeping overnight, it's down to like 50% the next day.

And actually working off the battery, I'd be very lucky to get most of an hour.

I'm told that this isn't surprising for a 2+ year old LiIon battery. Not a big deal.

So I'm looking at getting a new battery (much as I'd like to pick up a new G4 iBook or even a 15"pBook...).

Apple's own battery seems to be $129 and readily available.

I've only found one alternative - BTI (Battery Technology) makes one and Amazon's got that listed at $116.09.

Want to try my tricke calibration battery rejuvenation? What's your capacity? Try:

ioreg -p IODeviceTree -n battery -w0 | grep Bat
